Others

As well as the well-known names of the Somme and Ypres, there are many other battlefields of interest on what was known as the Western Front – the Great War battlefields of Belgium and France. British, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand soldiers fought in a number of other less well-known battles and locations.

One of the most famous names for Canadians is Vimy Ridge. As well as the memorial and park with preserved trenches, there are also many interesting sites in the area around Vimy. Another major battle was fought at Arras, in 1917. The French forces at Verdun fought intensely to hold the town during the early part of 1916, and Verdun has areas which have remained untouched since the war ended.
